When I was younger

I told my mother

I say one day im gonna make you proud

Now that im older

its so much harder

to say those words out loud

your growing taller

a little smarter

and one day your gonna leave home

oh will you look like your mothers father

oh when you are fully grown

ooh ooh ohh oh oh oho ho

When i was younger i asked my father

why are we so human

now that im older

i think i figured it out

were just doing what we can

oh oooh oh oh oh oooh oh oh

cause i wont
i wont lay you down
i wont lay you
i wont i wont lay you down oh now

i wont i wont lay you down
i wont lay you
i wont i wont lay you down

when i was younger i told my mother

i say one day im gonna make you proud
